Hand-drawn map elements

Those castles are just utterly lovely.

Ramah, am I being thick? i think the purple turrets work really well with the green. But then my wife says I have no sense of colour coordination at all (clothes)...she laughs at how I can agonise about the colours I use in maps and then go out the next morning with a pink shirt and blue tie.

Hehe. Well, I don't think you are being thick, I think it is the vibrant colour against that green that really makes it stand out. It really reminds me of the old maps in the Lone Wolf books which I used to love.
That being said... you walk outside in some green trousers and a purple shirt then you are just begging for funny looks.

Oh Great Wiki, I beseech thee to impart upon us all thy great wisdom and other irrelevant useless crap that people bother to give to thee in the first place...

But yeah, I'm sure the other great oracle Google can help us all.

I used to think green and purple didn't go together either until someone posted a map here a while back with those colors and I realized that it's the shade that's important. So if you want purple roofs with green grass then I say go for it, I think it looks good. But I wear t-shirts and shorts 365, unless I go sledding with my nieces then I put on some jeans (they think I'm part dragon cuz I never get cold) or if I go golfing then I wear plaid shorts with Hawaiian shirts. So I may not be the best judge of style but at least I don't wear black socks with flip-flops...I'm not cool enough, yet, for that. I wonder if I can work in some paisley into a map....

I bet you could get quite a cool landmass from the paisley pattern.

Ok, here's another 3 castles to add to the mix. I'm gonna do one more in this first pass of brushes then move onto other things I need like the city icon.
I'll re-upload the zip file in the original post once I've done the last castle.



Edit: Oh, I should probably add for anyone who might look at them and wonder if these castles are maybe too big to shrink to a usable size that I personally think they still look like obvious castles even when shrunk down to 10% of their original size.

Those castles look terrific, Ramah. Great job!

I used to think green and purple didn't go together either

I think it's fine:

These are simply great brushes. Thanks for sharing 'em.

[jfrazierjr]

Thanks for all the time spent... I am eagerly awaiting the brush pack upload...

[Ramah]

I'll do it this evening when I'm able to get more than a few minutes on here.

Btw, is there a way to reorder brushes in a pack? Renaming them doesn't seem to move them to alphabetically sorted, they just remain in the order in which they were created. At the moment they are all over the place.
Do I need to delete them all and repopulate my list from scratch?
